VietNamNet Bridge – Local newspapers have repeatedly reported
the serious cases of students beating teachers. The behavior is “unacceptable”
in the eyes of old people, who, at their ages, were told that teachers should
be the most respectful people.
The story about Tran Van Viet,
born in 1995, a 12th grader of the Dang Thai Mai High School in Nghe An
province stopped teacher Hoang Xuan Dong on his way and hit him to
unconsciousness, appeared on all local newspapers these days. The injury was so
serious and the teacher was brought to the Thanh Chuong general hospital in the
province immediately.
Educators have warned that the
number of cases where students beat their teachers tends to increase rapidly.
A lot of students have expressed
their discontent over the “school hooliganism” which has become the topic of
many education articles these days. When an adult beats a child, this would be
a “normal thing” in the Vietnamese eyes. However, it would be a big problem if
a student beats his teacher.
Kieu Thi Hang, an 8th grader of
the Tich Giang Secondary School in Hanoi, said when hearing the news on TV, she
feels worried and fearful, because she cannot imagine that there exist such
rude students.
“Beating teachers must not a
behavior of a student. This would be done only by a professional ruffian,” hang
said.
However, Hang does not think that
the cases reflect the current Vietnamese education panorama. Though the number
of such cases has increased, this does not mean that the majority of Vietnamese
students behave like this.
“Most of the Vietnamese students
still follow the “teacher veneration” principle which has existed for the last
many generations,” Hang said.
“As far as I know, the students
who beat teachers are the bad students, who regularly violate the school
regulations. I mean they are all naughty students,” she continued.
“Teachers need to be respected,
and they should be considered as the second fathers of every student,” she
concluded.
Do Van Tu, a 10th grader of the
Hong Thai High School in Hanoi, after reading the story about Vietnam, also
said this is unacceptable and unmannerly behavior which must be condemned
violently by the society.
Meanwhile, Do Thi Lan, a student
of the Dan Phuong High School, said that students in the modern times are no
more obedient. In the past, students one and all had to follow the teachers’
instructions. However, nowadays, students dare to express their viewpoints and
disagreements with the teachers.
However, Lan still believes such
behavior must not happen at school.
“Students have the right to
express their viewpoints and the disagreements, but they don’t have the right
to beat others, especially their teachers,” Lan said, adding that the naughty
students seemed to “abuse” their personal freedom.
There are many reasons that lead
to the students’ extremist behaviors. Pham Ngoc Hai, a student of the Kim Bang
district continuation training center said in most cases, students hit teachers
simply because the teachers gave them bad marks or asked them to do too many
home exercises.
“Most of the students at my
schools just go to class everyday in order to obtain the high school degree.
Therefore, they do not spend much time on studying, but on teasing teachers and
classmates,” Hai said.
Hoang Van Tuyen, a local resident
in Kim Bang district in Ha Nam province, has noted that students nowadays are
too lazy about working, while “idleness is the mother of all evil.”
